I would like to have worms around here so when I go fishing, I don't have to
drive a far distance and buy them. I googled, and they say to lay a
refrigerator on its side and use that for a home. Fill it with good dirt
they describe. Keep it in a cool shady place and keep moist. How hard is
it to just get some going in the garden and dig some up when one needs them?
Or is it better to have a fridge thing and have a good habitat for them?
Just how hard are they to get going and keep going?

I have several areas with rotting leaves directly on the ground that
have nightcrawlers, perfect for fishing. Also, compost is loaded
with large worms, big and fat. Make a pile (at least a cubic yard) of
organic material (50/50 green/brown) directly on the ground, introduce
a few nightcrawlers and in a month or so you will have enough worms
for fishing and more. Taking care of worms indoors is also possible,
though more bother than it's worth.
